Description
Blists Hill which I have featured quite a lot of images from has seen two hundred years of heavy industry due to the mineral wealth which lies under its grounds. The first known industrial activity on the site was mining which began in the late eighteenth century.
Many of the old buildings have been restored and this image shows on old winding engine house.
In addition the partial reopening of a shaft originally sunk in the 1770’s. Was restored using a rescued engine from the Ironbridge, Milburgh Tileries the museum has been operating this exhibit almost everyday since 1973.
The whole area is the birth place of the whole industrial revolution, and a must see if you are ever in the area in and around Telford.

danny, this is so good I don't even know what to say. The composition is wonderful, angling the gears so they move into us, and capturing just the right amount of roof and wall and windows and floor...But then there's your light: Brilliant light coming from a high window; the white light of the main window saturated enough to feel like 'power' as well as an actual street scene. And then there's your detail: On the bricks and pedestal of the monster, and the grain (in the materials, not in the shot) on the spoke, the rust on the wheels, the gravel on the gears...all terrific. And then there're the hues: You've captured & coaxed out the greens & blues with luminousness, the shadows have transformed them beautifully, and the changing hues of the walls (with the light) are just marvelous. As an old Vermont man said, when stunned by a photo even he was bowled over by (he wasn't sensitive to art): "Heeeyoo, Maude, this man can shoot." Masterful. Just masterful.
Beautiful work!
This is a unique place to look for the shift from bronze to iron. In weapons it occured in the Middle Ages but in carriages it waited until the 1870's. So what is a 1770 gear drive made of. Not wood, I hope in a metals area.
Great work!
